I have an event :

{
    "local": [
        {

            "tenant": null,

                "id": 1,
                "display_name": "Juniper test",
                "manufacturer": {
                    "id": 5,

            "rack": null,
            "vc_priority": null
        }
    ]
}

I want this event to be split into 2 events such as :

1st Event

                         "192.168.10.16"
                     ]
                 }
             },
             "serial": "124334",
